Lutz Go Outside!

Get ready for a summer of epic adventures at the Lutz Children's Museum! Our summer camp is packed with more fun than a pirate's treasure chest. From exploring far-off lands to becoming a mad scientist, there's something for every curious kid.


This summer, we’re bringing all the adventure right to camp! While we typically take field trips to parks and pools, this year we’ll be making the most of our camp space with exciting activities, hands-on nature exploration, programs, and plenty of outdoor fun—including nature walks and special themed experiences. Every day will be packed with adventure, creativity, and discovery, all right here at camp!


All campers MUST be at least five (5) years old by July 1, 2025.
